火曜日の朝、足を椅子にぶつけてしまい、あまりの激痛そしてお昼近くになっても腫れが引かない状態だったので、近くの病院に行った所、骨折してるという事でした。固定してもらい、そのままお家へ。夕方、また病院に行って、局部麻酔をしてもらい少し曲がって折れてる骨を伸ばす処置をしました。全治一ヶ月いったところかな。まだ痛みも強く、歩くのも不便だけど。
Just yesterday morning, Takako hit her fourth toe on the dining room chair. She thought she could walk it off as she has 'jammed' her toe before but as Josh came back for lunch, it was still hurting as bad as the initial jam. We ended up heading to an Acute Care Clinic where they took x-ray's of her foot that confirmed, it was broken. We gave them some contact information for when the orthopedic surgeon looks at the x-ray to see how bad it really was. They called later in the afternoon where they stated it was a 'minimally displaced fracture' and that they may be able to pull, then re-set it in but this is 'iffy' for small toes. As I returned home from work, I talked to Takako about the procedure although she agreed it would be for the better. We headed back to the clinic that evening as they injected some numbing medicine into her toe to pull & re-set. They retook an x-ray as it had moved slightly but they said that it may slide out of place. She now has a 'post-op shoe' that she will be wearing during our trip to Japan. It may take up to 3 months to fully heal. Funny how life happens.
